tvout & XF86Config

could someone post the contents of their XF86Config file using tvout. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but my X server won't start with my config file. Thanks.

I got the X server to startup. I think either the Horizsync value or the vertical refresh rate is off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are snippets from my XF86Config-4 file:

I've been running all my TV-Outs with a vertical refresh of 60Hz, not 30Hz as you have listed in your configuration. This is as per nVidia README included with the nVidia GLX 1.0-2960 docs. This also makes sense given that NTSC renders fields at 60Hz.

Good Luck!
